18. Sarah and John B

Start from the beginning
                                    

JJ jumps on. Pope falls but gets up and runs. He also jumps on. JJ hits the guys hand away and he falls.

We cheer.

We get on the boat and take off.

We catch eachother up on just about everything.

In the morning JJ complains about being hungry.

"We're gonna find some food."

Kie, Sarah and I find a watermelon. We share it as Sarah tells us she got married.
"Am I crazy or is there something definitely going on between you and Pope?"
"Maybe."
"That's not a no."
"Nope."
"Girl." I say. She laughs.

We get watermelons for the boys and walk back.
"What y'all talking about?"
"Fishing."
"Uh okay." I say not buying it.

I hand JJ the watermelon.
"Breakfast is served boys. And don't get used to it." I say.

We get to John B's house.
"There she is." He says.
"Welcome home." I say.

"Not exactly looking forward for my at home check in." Kie says.
"I also predict unpleasantries at the Heyward household." Pope says.
"My dad might not be the happiest camper when I show up." I say.

"No one knows we're here right?" JJ asks. "And you guys aren't gonna get into any more trouble for showing up 12 hours later."
"You're not wrong."
"So that means we have 12 hours to do whatever we want."
"Let the shit hit the fan tomorrow." John B says.
"The cops could be looking for us." Sarah says.
"Have you heard my philosophy?" JJ asks.
"No."
"Stupid things have good outcomes all the time." We all say with him.

"Let's get some beer!"

We all change before buying beer.

It gets dark and we're all pretty drunk in the hot tub. We're also passing a blunt around.

Pope starts rapping.

JJ randomly pulls me close to him and kisses me.
"Hey hey hey! Keep it PG you two!" John B yells. I flip him off before pulling away.

We get out and JJ and Pope have a little wrestling competition.

"I'm outta here!" Pope yells walking off. I notice Kie follow.
"Really?"
"Way to be discreet!"
"Have fun!" I yell.
"I leave, and this is what happens." John B says.

"Beer time." John B says.

Sarah and JJ start arguing about something when JJ gets up and follows John B.

"I missed you, bro." I say to Sarah. She smiles and hugs me.

I look over and see them hugging. I smile.

We see the boat leave with Pope and Kie. Sarah waves.
"Bye!" I yell.
"He jacked your boat, dude."
"Popes poking on the Pogue."

Sarah and I yelp.

"Hey, what was that?" John B says out of nowhere.
"Your chicken?"
"It was a car door." JJ starts making chicken sounds. I cover his mouth.

"Guys we have to hide." I say.

We throw water on the fire and climb into the tree.

We watch Barry go inside and Rafe stand under us.

Barry breaks something and I look at JJ scared. He grabs my hand.

Rafe is stressing out.

They're talking about Sarah being a Pogue. Rafe yells and I close my eyes. Rafe starts shooting the tree. JJ almost gets shot.

We don't move until we're 100% sure they're gone.

In the morning we're waiting for Pope and Kie to get back.

We see them and run to them.
"Don't tie up! We're dippin." JJ says jumping in and helping me on.

"Rafe knows we're here so we have to leave." Sarah says.
"Okay."
"If they know it's only a matter of time." Kie says.

JJ is pacing.
"We should've just gone south. Why does no one ever listen to me?" He yells. I grab his shoulder.
"JJ, shh, please." I say.

"I have an idea. With me back my dads gonna have to choose between me and Rafe."
"Sarah."
"He's gonna choose me."
"He's lied to you before."

"He's my dad. I know him and I know he loves me. I'm just asking for two hours." She gets up and leaves. John B follows her.

Sarah gets back she's clearly upset.
"Y'all need to load up in the paddy wagon and get the heck out of Dodge right now."
"Right you'll need supplies, and you'll have to split as soon as possible."
"Guys, I think it's too late."

The cops are here.
"God damn it."

We start running.

"Sarah you good?" I ask since John B basically is supporting her.
"Yeah."

We get in the water and cross it.

We're surrounded.

"What do we do?"
"There's no getting out of this. We gotta make a stand." JJ says getting the gun.

John B takes it from him and drops it. He walks out to them.

We all raise our hands.

"Alright, John B step forward and get on your knees." Shoupe says. John B starts doing it. Thomas walks over and grabs him.
"Thomas, no!" Shoupe yells. Thomas starts hitting him. We all yell.
"Do something Shoupe!"
"Stop!" I yell getting pushed back by Plumb.

He knocks John B out. I scream.

John B gets taken away.

We all stand there unsure what to say or do.

John B just got taken away for something he didn't do. And all we had to celebrate his return was 12 hours.
